I'm in. My first challenge. I was sleeved Jan 15 this year & have been feeling ok, but feel like my weight loss has stalled. This will be fun & encouraging. What are the next steps?

It would probably be good to have a consistent day. I didn't realize the weigh in day for this challenge wasn't Friday lol. Sorry about that.

Whatever is easiest for you but I like Friday or Monday.

I weighted myself on Saturday (it works the best for me) My weight was 202.5 My goal is 198

Mondays work for me but any day is fine-- whatever is easiest for u

That's right. I gained 4 POUNDS! I had guests in town, and we did a lot of eating and drinking. Monday weigh-ins are hard. :-)

Carnival is a time of excess, and it looks like I'm taking full advantage of that. Only 9 more days until Lent. Hopefully, I won't gain all of my weight back before then.

Whodat,

Fellow Saints fan here!! Woot woot!! Shrug off the weekend and get back on track! You can do it!

Thanks for the encouragement. Haven't quite gotten back on track yet, but I will! Happy Mardi Gras!

<p>Some of us here have been involved in quite a few challenges over the past few months, but we are also thrilled to have a new batch of Challengers join us for this one. I need to pose a question to the group, both veterans and newbies, before we move on to the next (Easter) challenge. I have always adjusted to challenge weigh-ins to END on the actual holiday. This means that for our next challenge, weigh-ins will be on Sunday. For longer challenges, it seems an okay move as we quickly get into the groove of things and adjust to a different weigh-in day. However, sometimes it [obviously] just gets a bit difficult to remember what day we are supposed to log in.</p> <p> </p> <p>So, I'm posting a set of polling questions to the group here.</p> <p> </p> <p>1. Would you like the Challenges to continue to end ON the holiday itself, making weigh-ins for them often occur on different days of the week (Easter, <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">SUN</span></strong>, April 20; Memorial Day, <span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>MON</strong></span>, May 26; Independence Day, <span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>FRI</strong></span>, July 4; etc.)?</p> <p> </p> <p>OR</p> <p> </p> <p>2. Would you like to pick a "standardized" weigh-in DAY for the next few challenges ? Also, if you select a STANDARDIZED weigh-in day, what day would you prefer?</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Thanks so much!</strong></p> <p><em>P.S. I'm not quite sure how to vote on this one myself (LOL!), but I'll try to post my own answer soon.</em></p>

Definitely whatever is easiest for you!!!! Thank you for all the work you do!

However, if you're counting votes, mine would be any day but Monday. (I hate to see my shortcomings in black and white.)

I vote for #1. I like it that the challenge ends on the exact day of the holiday.

As for me, the challenge keeps me in check, and I think about my weight loss on the challenge all the time, so I don't forget a lot about weighing in.

[Sleeve Siren 307]

I like the combo deal someone mentioned earlier. My vote is "Weigh-In Wednesday" with the final weigh in on the actual holiday.

[Hunter 159]

Bea you track and log all our weights keep up with milestones and put in a lot of work! Thank You! And do the weigh ins how you choose!

[back2barb78 890]

Bea, I'm good with whatever you want. Obviously some people may not be able to log in sometimes no matter what day it is because we all have different schedules. I think it's fine the way it is when we do it weekly leading up to the holiday on that date. But when were done who this challenge, however you set up the challenge, I'm in!! It's more fun though looking at the calendar leading up to the holiday. There are also other threads where people weigh in weekly on a certain day already as well.
